| - One night I was on the other side of town, a long way from home, and had an hour to kill before an appointment. I walked into The Ugly Dog Saloon because I saw it and liked the name. The parking lot was crowded, so I figured, "popular place." All of the tables were filled, and I managed to find one empty seat at the bar. They had a nice selection of beers on their taps, so I ordered one of my favorite IPAs and some buffalo wings and fries from a very pretty lady at the bar. I was shocked at how fast they came out of the kitchen. I figured I'd be waiting a long time for my food because of how crowded the place was, but in under five minutes I had a plate full of hot and crispy wings, and some exceptionally crispy fries. They were those batter coated fries, and I ate every last one of them. I tried another microbrew that I hadn't ever had before and asked for my check from a very polite, and very tall, young man working behind the bar. I was stunned at how low my bill was, but I had come during one of their wing night specials. I left an extra large tip, and decided that this was the kind of place that I'd like to come back to. The next time I visited, it was with a friend, and it was "a hockey night in Pittsburgh." The place was once again packed, and we had to stand for a little while before somebody left and we got a seat. Once again, the bartenders took care of us right away, and the food came out super quick, and the wings were delicious. I've only been to this place three times, and every time I've had a good experience. It can be a little on the loud side in there, but that's because there are lots of people in the room, and it's a large room. Maybe next time I'll try something else besides the wings, but I must say that their wings and fries are excellent, and the tap selection is great!
